I have noticed that it is very different from store to store. I live in
Granbury which has a great selection all the time, but I work in north
Fort Worth with 2 nearby. One at Belknap and Beach is forever out of
this and that, particularly breads. The store on 121 and Riverside is
usually well stocked but many times over run at lunch.
